Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE7L324D60HP

This federal Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) was awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime to Southern Automotive Wholesalers, Inc., a small business manufacturer and supplier of automotive parts and components located in Pontiac, Michigan. The $250,000 IDC covers a wide range of vehicular hardware such as connecting rods, fuel injectors, pumps, valves, filters, hoses, electrical components, engine parts, and mechanical assemblies to support ground vehicles, maritime vessels, and aviation fleets for the Department of Defense. Under this IDC, Southern Automotive Wholesalers has received several firm-fixed-price delivery orders ranging from $5,755 to $97,835 for the procurement of various connecting rod parts, with periods of performance extending through 2024 and 2025. Many of these IDC task orders are not set aside for small businesses, but the company's status as a small business manufacturer is leveraged through other IDCs that are specifically designated for total small business participation.

The original federal contract opportunity that led to this IDC award sought to procure 26 units of NSN 2815151199894 CONNECTING ROD,PIST, with potential for an Automated IDC valued up to $250,000 to cover orders placed over a one-year period or until the ceiling is reached. The items were to be shipped to various CONUS and OCONUS DLA depots, with an estimated 4 orders per year and a guaranteed minimum of 3 orders.
